I have an asp.net application which use Mysql as database server. In my application have some threading which will query mysql database. It always caused the Mysql database server CPU usage up to 99%. Then I try to edit the server parameters of Azure MySQL. I tuned as follows:

   innondb_buffer_pool_size : from 16106127360 bytes to 134217728 bytes.
   innodb_thread_concurrency: from 0 to 33
   wait_timeout: from 120 to 30
   interactive_timeout: from 28800 to 30

But it is not useful. When I run the application. The CPU usage of Azure MySQL still use 99%. The above tunning seems not useful. What tuning should I do to lower the CPU usage of Azure MySQL?

  • High CPU cannot be tuned away; it comes from poor table indexing and/or poor query formulation. Let's see a slow query; we can discuss it.

What tuning should I do to lower the CPU usage of Azure MySQL?

Left to itself, MySQL will not consume large amounts of CPU.

It will do so, however, when it is asked to perform [lots of] CPU-intense queries.

You need to investigate the workload that your database is under and tune any poorly-performing queries.

I strongly suspect this is a case where you could spend huge amounts of time tweaking the server to gain 2-3 percentage points improvement, whereas changing the queries or the indexing or the table structures could realise 2-3 Orders of Magnitude improvement.
